I have a VSD in my heart around 25.6 cm with a left-to-right shunt. I'm 36 years old and don't have any major symptoms, but sometimes when something stressful happens or I'm speaking in a gathering, I feel my heart rate increases. Could this be due to nervousness or because of the VSD? I can still run and play, and my height is 5'10 with a weight of 67 kg. Do I need surgery, or can I continue living like this without any issues?

I'm really worried about my mom. Her blood pressure is quite high, 170100, even though she's on medication. She's not eating well and feels really weak. Do you have any suggestions for home remedies or foods she can try? Maybe some juices that could help? I'm just trying to find anything that might make her feel better.
To help control your mother's high blood pressure (170100), consider these home remedies and dietary suggestions in conjunction with her prescribed medication: encourage her to drink plenty of water, herbal teas like hibiscus, and juices like pomegranate, beetroot, and amla; incorporate potassium-rich foods like bananas, leafy greens, and sweet potatoes; add omega-3 fatty acid sources like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts; use herbs and spices like turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon; and consider supplements like CoQ10, vitamin D, and magnesium

I'm 26 and in my family, we dont usually include garlic or onion in our meals, but I've been reading about the benefits of garlic and I'm intrigued. I heard it can help reduce bad cholesterol, which I know I have. I've come across Himalaya Lasuna Garlic pills and Himalaya Wellness Pure Herbs Lasuna Cardiac Wellness tablets. Are there any side effects or downside to taking these? Is there something else I should consider? Would taking 1 or 2 pills a day be okay, or should I be consulting a physician first?
-You can consider taking Himalaya Lasuna (Garlic pills) for its potential benefits, like reducing bad cholesterol. However, it's important to consult your physician before starting any new supplement, especially if you have any underlying health condition
